What You Should Know

You'd find GLORIA'S Picante Sauce on the condiments or Hispanic foods shelf (and later on the fridge door) — a bright, zesty jar you grab for taco nights, chip dips, or backyard cookouts. Its simple tomato-pepper-onion-salt-vinegar ingredient list and blended texture point to basic cooking and bottling: flavorful and convenient with a homemade vibe rather than heavily industrial processing.

Processed Food
